ABSTRACT:
A disconnect mechanism is provided which, upon a suitable trigger event, such as excess temperature causes a camming element40having a tapered head52to move under the urging of a compression spring60such that the tapered head52becomes trapped between a rotating element32and a support42. This gives rise to frictional inter-engagement which prevents further rotation of the rotating element32and thereby locks the rotating machine against further rotation. This is turn causes the shear region to fail thereby drivingly disconnecting the machine from its prime mover.
